BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE ASSOCIATION

Getting Down to Work

To Do List

"Start small and work up, don't expect to start with a lot of people. We [patients] are few and far between, so anyone wanting to start a society needs to have the time to commit themselves, as a lot comes from one or two key people. Things will then branch out, but one must have a lot of motivation to keep the 'ball rolling'." - British Columbia PH Society
